Known as Arachnid Warrior Bugs by the citizens and soldiers of the Terran Federation, these terrifying creatures of whirling blades and pincers make up the bulk of the known Arachnid species. Serving as warrior drones for their hive, Arachnid Warriors stand at approximately 3 metres tall on four pincered legs, which provide each Warrior bug with a considerable amount of manoeuvrability and speed, especially in open areas. While their forelegs, or side mandibles, boast razor sharp edges capable of slashing or impaling their prey with little to no thought to armour, flesh or bone.
